Chrilleee Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I just got my Narbish V4 hose and smoked some yesterday, but I'm getting very little taste from the AF double apple. The smoke doesn't taste burnt or harsh, it just doesn't taste much at all! If I'm removing the hose and tastes just out of the hole where I put it, it has the lovely taste that I'm used to! It feels just like the taste is removed/decreased when it flows through the hose. Am I supposed to do something first when I get a new Narbish? Or do you have any idea on what can be wrong?

Chreees Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hm, that's odd. So you get smoke when you hit from the Narbish, but no flavor? Have you checked the hose? Does it have a flavor in it that perhaps needs to be washed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, I get huge clouds (running with a tangiers phunnel) but almost no taste. I've washed it a bit and when I'm trying it not connected to the shisha it doesn't taste anything. So no weird taste in it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchard Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I wouldn't fault the hose for this haha. I dont think its possible for any hose to just make the flavor vanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joytron Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Actually some hoses are prone to that sort of problem. The Narbish V. 4 has Ionized taste receptors that engorge the taste buds, both increasing flavor intensity as well as flavor complexity. If one was to reverse the polarity, (most commonly occurring in the southern equator or when the hose itself is inverted and you are inhaling through the hose port) the flavor will all but disappear. Next time please specify when ordering a hose your location so this problem can be avoided. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some shitty hoses that have had much better taste! All with the smaller diameter if that could be the problem?

[/quote] I think it's stupid myself too. But, I've tried with two different hookas with both phunnel and egyptian bowl and different tobacco. The very wird thing is that when I skip the hose and get the smoke directly from where I put the hose on the shisha, the taste is lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammoura1 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 First, wash the hose thoroughly - it will help remove the plastic taste Second, smoke exclusively the same flavor out of this hose. You'll see, after a couple of times, the taste will be back - with a vengeance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it as the plastic trying it's damndest to enjoy the flavor too. Soon enough it will be stuffed and it will share with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
